Hey, thanks to both of you for the detailed reports.
@Jason_Chu: the F-Secure finding is really helpful. Since local exec starts working only when F-Secure is fully disabled, and folder excludes don’t help, it looks like F-Secure is intercepting the local-exec channel itself, not the files. So we can track this separately (it’s a different root cause than the original thread), please open a new thread just for F-Secure and include: your F-Secure version and which exact component is enabled (DeepGuard, firewall, browsing or DeepGuard protection). That’ll make it easier to confirm which module is blocking the connection and to suggest the right allowlist.
@brazofuerte: your case is different from the original one. The daemon registers and doesn’t flap, but the request never reaches it (registered but unrouted). That’s a separate case, and it’s best handled in its own thread. Please create a new one and include your account email (or say you’re ready to share details), and we’ll check your registration status for your account. Also noted your point that local state syncs from the account and deleting local files doesn’t give a clean start. That’s a useful detail for us to verify.
Both symptoms are in a group we’re tracking, but I can’t share an exact date for a general fix yet. Once we split this into separate threads, it’ll be easier to drive each one to closure. I’ll post an update if I have one.
